Somehow I get OpenSSL vibes from that description. Everyone would use it, nobody would pay for maintenance and the result would be billions of tons of steel controlled by a buggy vulnerable mess filled to the brim with a nightmarish labyrinth of #ifdefs and hacks ensuring compatibility with every embedded chipset that has ever existed.
- prepend 3y agoI still think OpenSSL is a massive success story. It’s used everywhere and it’s good. Not perfect, and has serious bugs but it’s been used by millions for decades. Even software that costs billions has zero days. We could be in a world where everyone pays RSA and still have massive vulnerabilities. We could be so lucky if all software ra exactly like OpenSSL.
